How to be sure if my iPhone 13 is safe after a phishing attack?

Hi,

I’m a German user of an iPhone 13.

About two weeks ago I became a victim of a Phishing attack onto my online bank account via my iPhone. Fortunately there occured no remarkable damage…

Is it recommendable after this attack to check my iPhone 13 wether a virus is still active in the system? Which Virus-Scan should I use for this purpose?

Thank you for your help, best wishes

Christoph

As others have stated, the iPhone does not get viruses unless it has been jailbroken. But it is suseptible to malware. I would recommend that you change passwords for your banking and sites involving payments. Check this link...
